Weisman led the Hawkeyes' rushing attack on its way to a season-high 304 yards on the ground. The 6-foot, 240-pound back wasn't able to find the end zone, but averaged 5.8 YPC (as compared to his season average of 4.0 YPC). Iowa built on a 9-7 halftime lead largely because Weisman and company gassed the defense with repeated rushes. The senior isn't an explosive rusher, but could find himself with a camp invite for a team looking for a Mike Alstott clone. Sun, Nov 16, 2014 02:17:00 PM

After taking the Floyd Rosedale trophy for two years running in the rivalry, the Hawkeyes gave it back in a big way on Saturday. Minnesota bottled up Mark Weisman and held Iowa to a season-low 84 yards rushing. Things started up well, as the senior scored on a short run in the first. The entire running game died after that touchdown. Weisman's only averaging 3.7 YPC this season, and he probably won't be drafted, but he's a big-bodied runner at 6-foot, 240 pounds, and could conceivably hook on in training camp next summer as a short-yardage back.

Iowa senior running back Mark Weisman rushed 20 times for 94 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 48-7 win over Northwestern.

Weisman would have had even more carries to pad those yardage stats, a season-high anyway, against the Wildcats' porous run defense were it not for the fact that this game got out of hand early (Iowa led 24-0 less than 12 minutes in). He's already scored 13 touchdowns this year. Weisman isn't likely to be drafted, but he'll get a long look in a training camp next summer as a short-yardage back in the poor-man's-Mike Alsott mode.

Iowa senior running back Mark Weisman rushed 25 times for 89 yards in Saturday's 45-29 win over Indiana on Saturday.

Weisman also scored two touchdowns in the victory. The Hawkeyes' 6-foot, 240-pound battering ram hasn't cracked even 90 yards this season, but he's already scored eight rushing touchdowns across six games. Weisman is versatile enough to have NFL chops, but he isn't quick or fast enough to project easily as an NFL back. He could slot in as a sort of poor man's Mike Alsott. Weisman has caught only seven passes over the last two years, which limits his projection. Sat, Oct 11, 2014 07:47:00 PM
